RG3 is totally right. If the Redskins were winning, no bulls*** columnists would make up lame stories about how he's a coach killer and a boy emperor. There would be no stories about how he's too close to the coach and how he doesn't take responsibility for his mistakes on the field.

If RG3 and the Redskins were successful, these negative stories wouldn't be so believable, and "people" such as Sally Jenkins wouldn't write negative columns about him. But as long as the Redskins struggle, people will swallow these ridiculous stories hook, line, and sinker. You only have to go to other teams' message boards to see the evidence of that. I'm reminded of a quote by Paintrain: "Because society is conditioned to be cynical nowadays, we are far too willing to believe anything negative connected to them. Coupled with on the field struggles it makes it so much easier to confirm whatever negative narrative you've chosen to believe." So true.
